I definitely have to agree on the motherboard, you can either go with that one or a similar ASUS one:

As for your PSU, you have to think about if youre going to stick with one GPU or potentially do an SLI with a second card in the future. Because if youre thinking of one day adding a second GPU then youll need an 850W.
If that is the case then this would be a good PSU:

Hope this helps!

The 750w will suffice for that, corsair is a really good brand but seasonic with it´s x line it´s at the top.

yea for sure Seasonic is great, even XFX which is made by Seasonic. So whichever you choose will be a good one.

You could use this as a reference for PSU strength:
